This trailer is normally towed by the 1-tonne Land Rover 101 (also available on this site), and provides the immediate resupply of missiles to launch units. Nine missiles are carried in the trailer, with a further four in the back of the LR101, as can be seen in one of the photographs of the completed model. The trailer was specially designed for this task, though it drew on similar trailers already in service, and it can be used as the starting point for similar models.

The Rapier resupply trailer model comprises a chassis and body, with separate wheels and resupply missile container stack. Whilst dimensions are kept as close to scale as possible, some thickening of walls and girders has been required to make the model more reliable printable. There were some variations in this trailer, and some were fitted with jerrycans in front of the mudguards, which can be easily added to this model.

VJM787

I offer a range of models in 1:56 and 1:100 scale (originally designed in 1:76 scale, but modified for wargaming use), including tanks, lorries and artillery. I have already made some available for free in the thingiverse web site, in case these are of interest (search for user VJM787). Some models will have a small charge to cover development costs and to permit future additions. My main interest is in the modern era, with particular interest in British equipment, but not restricted to this. I hope to offer some rarer WW2 vehicles as well as time permits.
